The human relation that wants to perpetuate itself requires from its participants that they quit the exchange cycle to enter the gift cycle. This fundamental change implies that, when you believe to give to the other or to the others, you are really giving to the relation, to its selfreferring structure which we like to call the “third” of the relation or its “relational absolute”. Owing to this fact, the request of help usually results in contact losing by the members of a relation with its grounding “third”, leading them back to a precarious situation of simple exchange rapidly weighed down with conflicts. Responding to the need of the demanding system to rediscover a reliable and evolutionary “third”, the therapist should respect the integrity of the demanding system by rapidly creating the space of shared work which we call the “intermediary space” and by trying to lead the demanding system toward the discovery of its “third” by the employment of the “floating objects”, revealers of relational complexity. This very experience will conduct the demanding system to recover an authentic “third” and thereby a new autonomy, putting to an end the task of the therapist.
